How do I launch NetworkManager??!!

[O K]

I wanted to create a desktop shortcut or some sort of easy way to access NM but I forgot how to open it.  I thought it was some command in the sys-net terminal but I don't recall.  There is no icon anywhere for it.  I added the settings option to sys-net under Applications to see if I could access it that way but it won't open when I click on it.

You can run nmcli in the VM which has network manager installed to control the status and actions from network manager.

https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/stable/nmcli.html

To make this easier you can write a script in dom0 and put this on your desktop:

In dom0:

qvm-run --auto sys-net 'nmcli ...'

Not sure it nmcli needs root permissions, if so:

in dom0:

qvm-run --auto --user root sys-net 'nmcli ...'

I am not sitting in front of my Qubes, therefore can't write the exact commands.

If you need further help, I can look up the details later on.

Yeah it would be ideal if I had easy access from my desktop, so if you could give me the exact commands it would great, thanks for the help.

Yeah it says "sys-net: command failed with code: 2" when I type in those commands.
